15th Anniversary!!!


Jung Dong Ha officially debuted on KBS TV program, as a new member of a well known band Boohwal (Resurection). The year was 2005, and I was oblivious to the existence of this marvelous, magical, charismatic singer, who was beginning his professional career on the opposite hemisphere from where I was.
I feel very blessed, and lucky that eventually I caught up with him. He immediately gained a big group of fans, who diligently recorded his artistic progress from the very start. I found endless "materials" on the internet, allowing me to get to know him, to indulge in the pleasures of listening to him, and watching his incredibly magnetic stage presence.
And here he is, 15 years later, the King of live performances, the king of Immortal Song2, the King of Masked Singer, the King of KBS Open Concerts.
Sadly, this year of his 15th anniversary he is forced not to meet his fans, because of the pandemic of Corona Virus. What shall we do, Jung Dong Ha?  We miss you very much!!!
15 years ago:
           

         
                                   NOW:

Over the years, he's grown so much. He's progressed from little mousy voice (my impression of his first 5years), to mature , more manly voice with very wide range, and astounding volume. He learned to use the power of his lungs, and belt out incredible, long notes. Not only that, but he became very versatile singing in multiple styles, from intense ballads to great soft rock, to little gentle songs,  to fun goofy performances. Depending what style he sings, his voice tone and feeling changes. I always found this ability of his quite amazing. Probably not everybody can hear this, but myself, and his other dedicated fans can, thus he has a very faithful following of mesmerized  audience.
Throughout his career, he gained self confidence, and is so natural on stage, almost always relaxed, interacting with the audience in a perfectly friendly manner, without an arrogance of someone who considers themselves a star.
Congratulations  Jung Dong Ha on your 15th anniversary!!! Thank you for being fearless, and trying new things!!!  I wish you another wonderful 15 years. I will be here, cheering for you.
